The listing, Blue-eyed grass - 20 seeds - Free Shipping!!! has ended.

The first time I saw blue-eyed grass I thought I was imagining things! Tiny blue flowers in the grass winking at me? Sure enough, I located it again and carefully transplanted it to the border of the garden. I didn't know what it was but the flowers were so cute! Eventually I learned that it is actually a wildflower and I added more to my garden. I just love these!!! And now I have seeds to share with you!

Strict Blue-eyed Grass, or Sisyrinchium montanum, is a herbaceous perennial plant that grows in clumps between 10–50 cm tall. Its stems have wings with entire to finely toothed margins. The leaves and stem are slender, 3 mm broad, green or brownish, with sharp edges and a fine point.

These are not true grasses, but many species have the general appearance of grasses, as they are low-growing plants with long, thin leaves. They often grow on grasslands. Many species resemble irises, to which they are more closely related. Most species grow as perennial plants, from a rhizome

The flowers are produced in a small cyme of two to five together emerging from a spathe, each flower about 2 cm in diameter, with six purplish tepals with a yellowish base and yellow stamens. The fruit is a capsule 4.5–6 mm long, containing numerous small black seeds.

Auction is for 20 seeds.
